Los Angeles Kings move radio flagship station to KABC AM-790

The Stanley Cup champion Kings announced a change in radio stations Monday, moving their flagship outlet to KABC AM-790 from KEIB AM-1150 starting next season. Nick Nickson and Daryl Evans will continue to provide commentary on all Kings games, but there will be a partnership between the Cumulus-owned station and the team that includes new exclusive events plus digital content available for fans.

The switch was first reported Sunday by the Los Angeles Times on its website.

“We are thrilled to partner with Cumulus and TalkRadio 790 KABC as we announce this agreement,” Luc Robitaille, the Kings’ president of business operations, said in a statement. “They are a strong and viable media and broadcasting brand in our community and they have a great overall reputation as a business and in the radio industry in particular. Our combined efforts will undoubtedly broaden the reach of the Kings with our current fans and in the broader community.

“This new relationship is also another example of how the Kings’ business and brand continues to grow and evolve.”
